The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the City of Tampa’s 2008 population to be 340,882. Tampa is part of the four-county Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan statistical area, which has a population of approximately 2.7 million people. Downtown Tampa is the central business district of Tampa and the chief financial district of the Tampa Bay Area. However, the Westshore district is the largest business district with more than 11 million square feet of office space. Much of Tampa’s street system is a grid design. The City of Tampa imposes an impact fee on land development in the city. Fees are based on the type of development, the development capacity (i.e. increased square feet, number of students, etc.) or other traffic trip generation measure associated with the development, and the district in which the development is located. Fees are used to provide roadway improvements and related infrastructure necessitated by new development.
